Readings & Ramblings with Book of Manchester Authors
What does Manchester mean to you? Football, gentrification, a great night out?
Join Comma Press at our latest event for The Book of Manchester, a collection of short fiction that explores, celebrates and critiques the city Manchester was and has become…
Readings from three authors will be followed by a Q+A about their work and what inspired their portrayal of Manchester, before handing over to you for an audience Q+A. From Brontë Schiltz’s tender story of love and loss, to Mish Green’s gutsy tale of homelessness and occupation, and finally Ian Carrington’s dystopic descent into chaos, each story tells of a different Manchester, one that shapes and informs its characters.
‘The Book of Manchester’ is part of Comma’s popular Reading the City series, which asks authors to write stories set in that particular city, taking readers beyond the guide books and giving them a glimpse into its raw, unfiltered spirit. This event will be chaired by the collection’s editor David Sue. Readings will be heard from Contents May Vary (Brontë Schiltz), Occupy Manctopia (Mish Green) and Ten-two Forty-Four (Ian Carrington).
